In 2017 house prices in the Netherlands rose on average 7.6% as sales reached new heights. For 2018 we expect that prices will increase even faster, making owner-occupied homes accessible for fewer people.

A record number of almost 215,000 houses were sold in the Netherlands laat year, while prices have risen on average 5%. We expect increasing scarcity to slow sales growth this year, and think prices will rise another 5%.

Confidence among Dutch households in the market for owner-occupied homes is and remains high. We are anticipating a rise to around 230,000 sales a year, and as regards the house price we anticipate an average annual rise of 5% for 2016 and 2017.
